Default How much has GA traffic dropped?

I don't think the Sport Pilot thing will help GA to any significant degree.
LSAs are nothing but toys. I flew my Sundowner to work today, and saved a
little time compared to driving. I couldn't have done that with an LSA.


The max level cruise speed permitted for an LSA is 120
knots. What does your Sundowner cruise at? A quick check
of the web shows a 75% cruise speed for the Sundowner at 115
knots. I don't see much limitation there.


As a Sundowner owner, I don't plan on getting _anywhere_ fast. G
